Questionable behavior these hybrids have, part chameleon, part escape artist. An unlikely source of genes made them this way. A river sauger and a lake walleye, who would of have thought it led to such success as a stockable fish.
The saugeye has been around as long as some can remember. Confounding anglers with its random combination of hybrid vigor, some methods prove better than others.

If you have an old shotgun in mind, one you never see in the local stores, consider using an online auction. You are sure to find one there.
But when the price looks like a good deal, remember it is not the final cost. What started out as fun soon taught me why the prices seemed low. The first couple of auctions ended with unexpected outcomes.

The headwater of the Great Miami River feeds Indian Lake in west central Ohio before heading 170 miles south to the Ohio River, entering west of Cincinnati. Draining a large wedge of the region as it moves, gravity pulls with enough force to run water across 3,800 square miles, 15 counties in all.
More than 6,600 miles of rivers and streams come together in the watershed.

Rabbit hunting is a rewarding way to spend time with family and friends. Walking and talking back and forth among your party will not spoil a hunt. In fact, it can help flush rabbits.
Do not expect to see them out in the open during legal shooting hours, not on a regular basis. Moving through the brush, kicking any piles along the way may be the old-fashioned way, but it still works.

The data have spoken and so have the officials. A plan of action has been drafted to set the process in motion. Restoring a species that disappeared from one of the Great Lakes, no small feat when you think about it, even if it is just the Western Basin of Lake Erie.
Travis Hartman, Lake Erie Fisheries Program Administrator for the Ohio Division of Wildlife, along with his staff, led by Eric Weimer, fishery biologist supervisor, and various hatchery staff, are working to determine what is possible with sauger restoration.

A muzzleloading rifle is an excellent choice for whitetail hunting, more accurate than the average shotgun loaded with slugs, more challenging than a centerfire rifle. How you care for a blackpowder rifle in cold weather is as important as your hunting tactics.

Are we going to get some ice this winter fishing season in Ohio? It is starting to look that way. The ocean wind and temperature occurring over the central and eastern Pacific Ocean encouraged forecasters to announce a weak La Nina. This forecast has led to above average precipitation in the past.
What matters to me, when Pacific water cools to below average temperatures, is whether the La Nina conditions will weaken the jet stream. A strong jet stream separates Arctic air from the Ohio Valley. A weakened jet stream can wobble, increasing the potential for harsh weather.
Coyote hunting picks up in November and continues through the winter. Fur is surely prime by November, but this is not the only reason a hunter chases coyotes.
The hunting continues after some of the other seasons have ended. Conditions can become more challenging as winter approaches. It is not just the weather; the coyotes are either fewer in number or wiser. Those that have survived a run-in have wised up to the ways of a hunter.
Be smart, follow these cues when coyote hunting Read More »
I was thrilled about straight-walled rifles becoming legal during the regular Ohio gun season. Since then, I have been searching for the ultimate deer rifle.
However, I have not found it nor did I ever expect to be shooting slugs again. A lot has changed, such as the amount of hunting I am able to do and way I hunt when I can go. Through it all, a shotgun still made sense.
Searching for the perfect deer gun? It could be a shotgun Read More »
